Re: What are you all up to
Again mixed weather but not quite as much rain. Had a drive over the Nick of Pendle, through Sabden up onto Padiham Heights for a short walk. It certainly not a day for walking on Pendle Hill!! Had a couple of short walks back at the van inbetween showers.
I phoned up our caravan dealers about the microwave and they have put in a claim, with Swift I guess, for a replacement,so now just have t wait for the out.come. In the meanwhile it will mean an adjustment to our cooking for the rest of this trip.
Hopefully the weather will improve for all those out and about tomorrow, and more interesting places will be visited and dry dog walks accomplished.
Tda, the view of Snowden from Llanberis Pass reminds me of the ascent we made to the top over Crib Goch to complete our single day round of all the Welsh 3000 ft peaks many year ago. Great to see the photos.
Re: What are you all up to
Enjoyed a great drive out today, weather fit only for ducks, but it added hugely to the local scenery. Snowdon from the Beddgelert/ Nantgwynant side, and then from the Llanberis Pass near Pen y Pass. If you zoom in, you can just make out the Summit Station building and the summit stone itself. We also saw a mountain goat, haven’t seen one for a very long time.
We called into Beddgelert Campsite as well for a look around. It’s actually nicer in Winter, as the tree cover isn’t as dense. Enjoyed many a stay here in the past, it’s primarily cabins nowadays though.
Re: Driving to Greece
There are blogs on line by masochists who have driven all the way via Balkan countries such as Bosnia, Serbia and North Macedonia, but there are also ferries from four ports in Italy (Venice, Ancona, Bari and Brindisi) to the Greek mainland. What do you have in mind.?
Re: Driving to Greece
I bookmarked this site after reading some years ago from a caravaner that did the trip. I recall that you "camp out" on the ships deck after hooking up the vans or motorhomes electrics.

Re: Driving to Greece
Welcome to CT.
You are correct in that many folk do drive to Greece.
If you 'do' Facebook I can suggest a group that I found very helpful.
Its called Motorhoming in Europe after Brexit. Don't let the name put you off its very helpful and informative. Lots of those that post are full timers or at the very least long term travellers. They travel as far as Turkey and Morocco and are a wealth of tips including ferry crossings from Italy, Croatia and Albania.
Check them out you won't be disappointed.
Re: Sites with a pup tent?
Hi
You're welcome to put up a pup tent for the kids to sleep in on any of our club sites. Just make sure you book a standard pitch with awning. You don't need to have an awning but those pitches are bigger and will accommodate a tent.
